In this fifth episode we discuss the public health risks associated with the more frequent extremes of weather we are likely to experience as a result of climate change. We discuss aspects of vulnerability and resilience to the effect of these extremes and how a joined up approach can help individuals and communities to cope better. To get into the detail of this issue we are joined by Dr Ana Raquel Nunes, Assistant Professor in Environmental Change and Public Health at the Warwick Medical School, University of Warwick, and Ross Thompson, Principal Environmental Public Health Scientist within the Extreme Events and Health Protection team at the UK Heath Security Agency.
